Athlete Experience Drives Event Growth

When athletes feel connected, supported, and inspired, they remember it and return.

At the Women’s NIT, players like Coco Natarajan come for the competition, but leave with more: friendships, growth, and memories that stick. These elements happen when organizers invest in experience and can focus on what matters.

With EventConnect, tournament organizers unlock the operational bandwidth to do just that. Our all-in-one platform takes care of scheduling and hotel logistics so you can build moments that shape your athletes and fuel long-term loyalty.

Coaches Do It All—EventConnect Makes It Easier

Behind every great tournament run is a coach or team manager juggling dozens of moving parts. For Meredith Ruder and the MadFrog Volleyball Club, it’s about ensuring her athletes are focused, rested, and ready to compete, without sweating the hotel logistics.

With EventConnect, Meredith secures top hotel options close to the venue, handles changes easily, and leans on customer support that’s just as dialed in as she is. The result? More time for coaching, stronger team bonds, and a better athlete experience.
